Experts debunk liver 'detox' myths—advocate lifestyle overhaul over juice cleanses

New findings make it clear: the liver is self-cleansing and doesn’t need trendy detox regimens. Detox teas, juice cleanses, and unregulated supplements promise quick fixes, but lack scientific support and can even harm liver function. Real liver health hinges on evidence-based habits: reduce sugar and alcohol intake, eat whole, unprocessed foods, and exercise regularly . Experts highlight leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, olive oil, and hydration as core to support hepatic function. Cutting high-fructose foods, industrial seed oils, and fruit juices rich in hidden sugars is also vital. Complementing diet with moderate exercise (150 minutes weekly) and consistent sleep enhances liver fat metabolism and overall well‑being. Forget gimmicks prioritize sustained, balanced lifestyle changes to safeguard liver health effectively.
